Toronto, ON–In less than three weeks, the Filipino Canadian Youth Alliance will be hosting a panel discussion on November 24, 2018 entitled “Make the Youth Count: Rise Against Fascism”. This panel will bring together current perspectives of our particular role as youth and progressives in building genuine political movements for social change in a time of growing right-wing ideology and attacks to the working class, and marginalized communities. The event will take place on November 24 at the 12:30PM at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Room 5250.

For youth, while there is growing uncertainty of our future, there is also growing denouncement of fascism and right-wing attacks that continue to be implemented both locally and globally. Kebz Nerier of Filipino Canadian Youth Alliance will bring out the question of what is revolutionary culture in our current times, the need for it, and how are youth leading this movement. Activist and organizer, Sadia Khan will bring critical questions to the table about what is needed to be effective in community organizing especially with the emboldening of the right. Charie Siddayao of the Philippine Women Centre of Ontario will look into past efforts of effective community organizing that we can draw from and how to build continuity from these past gains.

Sign in will start at 12. Program will begin at 12:30.
Light refreshments will be provided at the midway break.
The space will be accessible.
